Through numerous internships in the field of graphics, fashion and textile crafts, she combines these experiences with an artistic gesture in her work. For her, fashion and art have always been close together, with overlapping and symbiotic threads. The concepts are often implemented in shape of performances, illustrated or represented in form, color and pattern in clothing.
